Usually I like to shoot odd numbers but I liked the varying shades in this shot. Would love any feedback. Thanks.

Nice colors, but taking this shot from little left would had been better, where the fourth flower would be shown more from front.

Thanks for the feedback. My chance has come and gone as the flowers only last a day. I do see what you mean.

I think the frame is too tight.
Would be nice to add a space between the bright color spots and the edges of the frame.

OK I had to try it again but there aren't too many flowers blooming today. What do you think of this one?

Good. It is much more harmonious composition.

I like it better too, just for the subject isolation. I do like the varying color shades in the first

That's what I liked about the first shot, the different shades of the flowers but I just wasn't happy with the shot. Thanks for looking!
